Meet Tango, a pretty two-year old tortie who really needs some kindness in her life. Tango was found in a busy Cleveland neighborhood crying for the attention of restaurant and bar patrons. She was skinny and cold, desperate for food and shelter. Luckily a PAWS volunteer saw her and scooped her up.

Tango has not had an easy life and can sometimes be a little apprehensive about being touched. She is adjusting to her new carefree life and recently discovered the joys of playing with cat toys. She loves being with her foster parents and sleeps peacefully on the end of their bed. Tango is getting used to other kitties and would be a great cat for someone who is looking for an independent but curious pet. Tango has been tested, spayed and is up to date on shots.

My neighbors put their Siamese kitten out in the winter cold and won't find her a home. Seenatra, a beautiful blue eyed female kitten barely over a year old, needs a home. She is hanging out in my garage and I'm doing everything I can to keep the tom cats away, they're trying their best to get to her so please help me find her a loving home, away from the cold elements and danger. She deserves her own, warm home with a loving family! Please! I already have cats and I tried to bring her in but my cats don't want another roomie.

Female chow/shepherd mix,reddish/blackish, very short hair. Is very skinny, 32lbs, is insulin-dependent, and losing her eyesight. She needs her shots and special food right away, had a pink collar on, no tags. Her name is Kayla, and is deeply missed! Phone Number: 330-806-9979Email: galaxydesignsinc@yahoo.com

Shorty is a very special girl. Before PAWS rescued her, she suffered some type of terrible trauma that left her without back feet. Don't tell Shorty, though! Despite her disability, she can even manage to jump up onto a king size bed! She gets around fine, primarily walking on her front paws and using her back legs for balance. A litter box with lower sides is a must. And a home on one floor would be ideal as steps can be difficult.

Beau is a 4 year old Australian Shepherd/Chow mix with a mysterious yet tragic past. He is naturally cautious of strangers due to his Chow mixture but he is deathly afraid of pre-teen and teenage boys. We can only guess what type of life he once had. We are working on his trust issues and his issues with believing that all strangers are bad people and feel he would not be suited in a home with children. Once his trust is earned though, you will reap the benefits of a loving and loyal companion who is happy to just spend time with you.

Back in 2009, pets.ohio.com told you about an Ohio kennel owner who was sued after he starved a dog (and 11 others) in his care. These dogs were left with him by pet owners who had to go on trips and wanted to place their dog in a safe place. Instead, the owners of Nitro, a Rottweiler left at the kennel, were called by police while on their trip and informed that Nitro had been starved to death.

"Ruby has been an odd cat from day one. She has never slept where a normal cat would, nor in a normal cat position. This is her comfy lego spot. Others include, on the top bunk under the blankets, and in Dad's chair upside down."

Rudy is a gorgeous gray long-nosed cat with huge green eyes. With his very short, 2" tail, he may be a Manx mix. Obviously a former house cat, Rudy was found starving and abandoned, wandering the city streets. He's between 4-6 years old, very well behaved and super sweet.

About two years old, Alexia is a sweet, domestic short-haired, gorgeous gray and white girl. Having spent time outdoors, cold, lonely and longing for food and friendship, Alexia is just SOOO happy to be warm and well-fed.

I found a dog around 4:45 (February 7th) wondering in traffic on West Exchange. He is a male, neutered, short hair. mostly black with large ears and weighs about 40 lbs (my best guess). He is very friendly. 330-592-5852

I live off of Waterloo Rd in Suffield. My husband let Ebony out at 8:30 a.m and when he went back out to get her she was gone. We searched the entire neighborhood by both car and foot, and have not seen her. I have went door to door and no one knows anything. Ebony was recently groomed, a purple collar and a white and multi-colored bandanna. She is entirely black with the exception of a little gray under her chin. She is the sweetest dog and my family misses her so much. She never gets loose and we are new to the neighborhood, so I don't know if she can find her way back home. I went to the vet on St. Rt 532 in Mogadore and a woman had called and said she found a dog on Waterloo Rd early Sunday morning, so I am praying that is Ebony, If you have any information please call Jodi at (330)532-7243...thank you so much.

My roommates and I lost our dog today. His name is Oso and he's a medium to large dog, about 50 pounds. He was lost near Buchtel Avenue near the University of Akron around 5 PM today. Please call me if you find him- we really miss our puppy! Thank you so much! 330-807-4404.

On Saturday January 29, 2010 our beloved family pet went outside to use the restroom and got out of our gated back yard. We believe that she is still in the area. She weighs less than 10 pounds her fur is tan and black. She has a lavender bow in her hair a pink collar and a black and white polka dot dress on that says fashion forever. She has been a member of our family for several years and my children and I miss her dearly! If you have her please contact me ASAP (330) 926-6038.
